Performance in the age of AI
What does it take to build high-performing teams in the age of AI?
Performance management is entering a new era. Traditional approaches no longer match how today’s organizations operate.
Operators & Friends, Taito.ai, Ashby and Langdock are bringing together a small group of founders, technical and people leaders for an intimate evening at the Langdock Berlin HQ.
We'll sit-down for practical discussion with:
Lennard Schmidt - Co-founder & CEO at Langdock
Kristo Ovaska - Founder & CEO at Taito.ai (previously founder at Smartly.io)
Allyn Potts - VP People & Culture at Moss
Real lessons on:
Scaling isn’t just adding headcount - how to design systems for it?
How to build a culture of performance and growth?
What a good performance system looks like in practice at different stages, and in different functions?
How to assess people in the AI age?
Agenda
18:00 - doors open
18:30 - fireside chat
19:00-20:30 - small bites, drinks, and vibes
21:30 - goodbyes, doors close
AI is accelerating how teams work, hybrid models are reshaping collaboration, and fast-scaling companies need approaches that support fast learning cycles and continuous adaptation.
Leaders now need systems that adapt quickly, surface real insights, and create the conditions for continuous growth.
This is an invite-session - registration required.
